Summer might be the best time for family portraits—and here’s why.
Fall gets all the hype, but it also brings packed schedules, tight timelines, and holiday stress. Summer? It’s lighter. Looser. Happier.
The kids are home. The evenings are longer. And yes—there’s golden light and gorgeous greenery everywhere.
Whether you want an outdoor session or something cozy indoors (hello, air conditioning!), summer gives you the flexibility to actually enjoy the experience.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼
When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.
✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth
All from one simple update.
It’s not magic — it’s psychology.
🤝 People do business with people.
They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.
Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

If you’re thinking about updating your team’s headshots, I’d love to help.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼
Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.
Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.
Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:
📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.
📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.
📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.
📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.
📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

Your headshot is only the beginning. 👀

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.
My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.
🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.
Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.
